Company Profile

Procreative: was formed in 2012 after a 4 year collaboration between Matt Tomlinson and Dr Asad Naeem (formerly of Nottingham University) developing the Sperminator®.

Procreative's mission is to help provide a new 'higher' standard in semen analysis, by reducing variation of method, improving reliability and reproducibility.

Sperminator® has been refined substantially over a 3 year period and considerable validation against the best st manual methods has been the main aim produced. 2012 sees the launch of the first commercially available system with the promise of further developments in the pipeline.
